See y’all at 0300, eastern!
Even the moon is all in on red for the election.
Sky event???
0300 eastern is the high time for moon?
If so, seeing alarm for wakey prayer time
I’ll be set up before 0300 - I just did a couple of test setups with the tripod and tracking mount to make sure I could find Polaris (the North Star), align the mount, and get the camera set up and running. A couple of long exposures, then training on the moon to check for tracking accuracy, proved that it is working adequately for the purpose.
For the actual eclipse, I have to set up around 100 feet from the house so that I have a clear view of the south to WNW sky, because at full eclipse, the moon will be very low on the horizon.
Hoping that the skies stay clear so that the moon can show clearly the start of the great red wave.
Sky event indeed!
